Common questions about Business Law in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
What is a buy-sell agreement?
A buy-sell agreement is a contract among co-owners of a business specifying what happens to an owner's interest upon death, disability, divorce, retirement, or voluntary sale. Common structures include cross-purchase (other owners buy the departing owner's share), entity redemption (the company buys it), or hybrid. Buy-sell agreements typically address valuation methodology, funding (often via life insurance), and triggering events.
Do I need a lawyer to start a small business in Arizona?
For the simplest entity formation (single-member LLC, no investors, no real estate, no employees), you can file with the Arizona Corporation Commission yourself. For anything with multiple founders, outside investors, intellectual property, real estate, employees, or industry-specific licensing, an attorney's review of structure, operating agreement, and contracts pays for itself many times over by avoiding costly disputes later.
What is an operating agreement?
An operating agreement is the LLC's internal governance document, addressing membership interests, capital contributions, profit/loss allocation, voting rights, manager authority, and exit terms. Arizona law (ARS § 29-3105) recognizes operating agreements as the primary source of LLC governance, with ARS Title 29 supplying default rules where the agreement is silent. Single-member LLCs benefit from operating agreements too, especially for clarifying corporate veil.
